We do. Our test basically:

   lstat()
   chmod(st_mode ^ S_IXUSR)
   lstat()

but Linux (Andrew said he's on Ubuntu) keeps the mode bits that user-space
requested with chmod() in the cache long enough that the subsequent
lstat() call sees what it just requested. So, our test doesn't notice that
the x-bit is not written to the filesystem.
